Denon AVR-S900W 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi





Might just be this year's sweet spot for Audyssey fans


Good solid amp - Wonderful Denon support
I have only had this product for a few days, so just giving initial impressions:

Packaging is very good - no issues with anything getting damaged in shipping
Initial setup is very clear and straight forward - the documentation there is very easy to follow. The scripted setup process that comes with the machine makes it very easy to understand what is going on and what to do next.

I had an issue with the wireless network setup. In going through the guided setup it hit the networking discovery and just hung up. It couldn't find any wireless networks (and there are probably 20 discoverable around) let alone mine. I was able to eventually figure out how to stop it, and tried going into the regular network setup and doing the guided setup a couple more times. Since nothing seemed to work I contacted Denon phone support. I must admit this was done with some trepidation as this is the new release of a new model, but I was very very please with Denon support...

Fantastic piece of equipment, well worth the money if the features you need aren't met with the lesser models
SHORT REVIEW:
------------------------------
This receiver is a very, very nice piece of equipment. It has a ton of features, offers 4K upscaling and does it at a price point that would actually make a very good option for someone looking to upscale their content to their shiny new UHD TV.

Sound quality from this is fantastic. Audyssey configuration is highly recommended using the included mic to ensure you are getting the absolute best audio quality from your configuration. Output is 90 W per channel at 8 Ohms.

Setup is not simple, but the on screen menus will walk you through the entire thing, which makes it as simple and as easy as possible for home theater beginners, with everything on the rear of the unit being clearly labeled. It can be setup without a monitor, however, it is a HUGE pain. If you want to set it up and forget it, I recommend configuring it with a spare TV/monitor then disconnecting when you are finished. And if you are using this...
